Mapley's Morsels

I'm a professional kitchen siren living with my blended family in The Last Frontier. I can be found online, in my kitchen, in my garden, and on the pages of many cookbooks, especially those published by Gooseberry Patch.

It is so good to be back! If you followed me to Instagram you know I am kind of obsessed with smokeable hemp flower. CBD is my jam, man!

I am preparing content right now, combining my love of food and CBD. I'll be pairing strains with exquisite food and drink, as well as helping y'all learn how to cook with CBD.

Stay tuned! It’s about to get tasty up in here. 🤤

Tonight we are having my favorite. Spaghetti. With lots of oregano. Do you know what 80's movie I just quoted? #italiangirl #italian #sauce #spaghettisauce #food #foodies #foodgasm #italyinalaska #akfood #eatthis #nomnomnom #deliciousness #anchovies #oregano

Because if there isn't anchovies, it's not REALLY marinara. #italiangirl #italian #sauce #spaghettisauce #food #foodies #foodgasm #italyinalaska #akfood #eatthis #nomnomnom #deliciousness #anchovies #anchovylove

One very shaggy, very coconutty cake for my son. Coconut cake layers, brushed lavishly with cream de coco, split and and filled AND frosted with coconut cream, then showered with MORE COCONUT! Happy 15th Birthday, Jonboy! WE LOVE YOU! #happybirthday #birthday #birthdaycakes #sweet15 #cakes #coconut #coconutextreme #nomnomnom #delish #sugarporn #bakedgoods #baking #instafood #eatthis #food #foodies #foodgasm #akfood

Searing stew beef (I WISH it were moose) with garlic, thyme, celery, and leeks... and deglazing the pan with a hearty red wine for stew. Not pictured: the cremini and button mushroom gravy I once had stashed in the freezer, now thawing on top of this beautiful mess. Yum! #dinner #stew #beef #food #foodgasm #foodies #meat #redmeat #hearty #peasantfood #winterfood #akfood #delish #leftovers #frenchinfluenced #yum #nomnomnom #eatthis

Brownies! I love walnuts in my brownies, but my kids are texture-monkeys, so I only put them on top and only on 1/3 of the pan. This way, they get beautifully toasted while the batter bakes and they can be easily picked off by walnut haters! #sugarporn #baking #brownies #chocolate #redwine #akfood

Red Wine Brownies batter... and some extra chocolate, just for the holiday (Ghirardelli Intense Dark 86% Cacao Midnight Reverie Bar). Happy Valentines Day! #ghirardelli #chocolate #redwine #baking #brownies #redwine #sugarporn #nomnomnom #food #foodies #foodgasm #foodporn #valentinesday #akfood #alaskafood #delicious

Tricolor quinoa. I don't know how anyone doesn't love quinoa! Very simple rules for preparation: rinse, rinse, and rinse again and then toast it in a dry pan before you add the cooking liquid. Nutty, fluffy, whole food perfection. My kids can't get enough of this stuff! #quinoa #tricoloredquinoa #protein #superfoods #eatthis #healthyfood #delicious #kidsfavorite

Baby Lima bean soup, redolent with smoked ham, onions, bay, and celery... Sprinkled with Louisiana hot sauce! Riding shotgun: buttermilk cornbread. Thank you #instantpot for making Lima beans not only edible, but absolutely DELICIOUS! #beans #soup #limabeans #pressurecooker #food #foodies #foodgasm #foodporn #nomnomnom #instafood #goodfood #delish

Regarding homemade bone broth, if your broth (this one is turkey, from the Thanksgiving carcass I stored in the freezer until recently) looks like jell-o after its cooled, you are a rockstar! #homemade #bonebroth #eatthis #instafood #goodfood #nourishing #turkey #food #foodies #foodgasm #exquisiteingredients #nutrition #meatjello

Milagro Stuffed Peppers... Instead of using half ground pork as I typically do, tonight I subbed Olympia Provisions smoked chorizo, ground.
